”The Birthday Queen”, by Audrey Wood. Preschoolers measured, added, and combined ingredients using their hands to create our Birthday Cake Cloud Dough! It smelled so yummy!

The children had fun identifying numbers and adding the corresponding numbers of candles to their birthday cake creations!🎂

”The Napping House”, by Audrey Wood. We love books that follow a pattern, such as “The Napping House”, to help children learn that if they can sequence characters/settings in a story,  they can use that to help them retell the story! We discussed the roles of the author and illustrator a lot this week as our books were written by Audrey Wood and illustrated by her husband, Don. The setting for this book is their actual home!

Illustration! Before we could retell our story, preschoolers needed to illustrate their page! 

Preschoolers selected each character as they listened to a retelling of “ The Napping House”. They practiced sequencing events of the story so they could retell this piggyback story to others! 

Tucking away our story characters to retell to our family at home!

Candy Cane Play-do! Play-do is an amazing manipulative for helping to build the strength and control preschoolers need for fine motor activities such as writing! We loved the peppermint candy cane smell!

ABC Christmas Train! Today we practiced sequencing letters, and naming and matching uppercase/lowercase letters in this fun literacy circle!

Sharing our story, “The Legend of the Candy Cane” with Mr. Showstead today after Music!

We are busy practicing for our Christmas Program on next Friday! Look forward to seeing you all there!🎄
